Dragon Tongue Shawlette

 

Hello friends! today I bring you another small shawl design (see the previous one here: Carrie Shawlette), but this time I made it using chunky yarn. when me and my girls were taking photos of the finished piece, I had yet to settle on a name for it, that’s when my daughter said jokingly that it looks like a coarse dragon tongue around her neck. I thought it was hilarious and decided to stick with the name Dragon Tongue. For the pattern I went with a simple one, with the addition of a small twist, enough to make it interesting, but still easy to work out. The size can be made larger by basically repeating the general pattern more times than what I chose to go with. This small wrap will keep you warm and cozy for the rest of this cold winter, plus It’s a super easy and quick project that takes less than a hundred yards of chunky yarn to knit. So, I hope you give it a try: make this shawlette in a short time and match it with your favorite jacket and hat. Have a nice knitting day!
